I agree with cracker about useing gravity to drain the refugium, after that i would tie both sumps together, i think below water line, and use two small pumps, one in each sump to feed the refugium. the refugium could drain into either sump this way. the problem i see with this is anything that...

for my fuge i drilled a 15 gallon tank, i am useing the mj-606 pump for return to refugeium, a 1" drain goes back to the sump. i have sand, live rock, cheato, and a few cleanup crew items too! i think my light is 110 watt pc light with 10k bulbs. i hope this at least gives you ideas on what you...

i voted for a 55, but i agree that the largest tank you can setup is best!!!!

how about one of these? http://www.petsolutions.com/Mini+Jet+Water+Pumps-I-51307106-I-C-49-C-.aspx not that it is the best place to buy from but for this style pump! herb

I use a 130 watt power compact light for my refugium, but it has to run same as my main tank light, i have a poor design!!!! i will post a link in here if i can figure out how! herb http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/herb11100/sw%20tank/DSCN0523.jpg

i test for salinity daily, but other tests at the end of week just b4 water change! I feel that that way my results are always worst case! herb

I have many tools and most of them i could not live without, but the best most frequently used tool ( outside of the items that run 24/7) is the refractometer.I use it at least 2 times each day to verify where my salinity is! but then again my timers that turn lights on & off are pretty...

when i decided to setup my 55 gallon as a reef system( i am still new at this) i had a 15 galon tank drilled and it is my refugium, my overflow drains into the refugium then to a 20 gallon sump, then pumped back to 55, in the 20 gallon there is a skimmer, heater, and pump, i have ordered some...

thanks for all the quick replies, I have not done all my homework yet, but when i get water and sand in tanks, i will pick up some live rock, while the tank is cycling i will try and put together a list of possible tank mates, i want a plan and try and follow it. i am leaning towards a reef with...

Well, it is about time I posted a howdy here. I started a 55 gallon system and had to give that tank to a friend :cry1:, now I am starting 2-12 gallon nano-reef systems, it was a tough decision but I moved into a studio apartment, so I am off to the great nano-reef keepers. I might get water in...

i am getting parts together to start a small reef, but it is a work in progress!
